About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely love! 🐶❤️ In addition to having a dog of my own, I worked at a veterinary clinic where I gained hands-on experience with all kinds of dog care. I helped with daily tasks, took dogs for walks and bathroom breaks, assisted with post-surgery care, and handled the many responsibilities involved in keeping dogs happy, healthy, and comfortable. This experience taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and gentle with every dog, especially when they need a little extra care. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're energetic and always ready to play, adventurous and love going on walks, or total cuddle bugs who just want extra affection. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home! I know how much your pup means to you because I know how special that bond is myself. I would treat your dog like part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while you're away. You can feel confident knowing your fur baby is in caring hands with someone who has real experience working with dogs. I can't wait to meet your pup and become their new best friend! 🐾💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pup’s needs! 🐶💕 I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and am happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and daytime pet sitting. Whether your pup needs a midday potty break, some extra attention while you’re at work, or someone to keep them company during the day, I’m happy to help! I know life gets busy, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is getting plenty of love, care, and attention while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. Having worked at a veterinary clinic, I understand the importance of being attentive, following care instructions, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs so I can provide care that works best for them. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect the space, follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep food and water bowls filled as directed, and ensure pets are safe and comfortable at all times. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your fur baby is doing well while you’re away! I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and individualized attention, and I will always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾❤️

About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have unfenced 3 acres and quiet streets and walking trails for exercise and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been around pets my entire life. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've been dog sitting for ten years. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, overnight stays, and extended care for a week or longer while families are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're gone. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, a dependable sitter for a quick check-in, or someone to provide attentive care during a longer vacation, you can count on me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently enrolled in an online graduate program, so I am available at any time you will need care for your pet, any day, night, week, or weekend! Initial Consultation: Before the pet owner leaves, I arrange a meeting to get acquainted with the dog and discuss their routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner might have. Establish Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain consistency with feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods to ensure they feel secure and settled. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise is vital for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I schedule daily walks, engaging games, and interactive toys to keep them active and entertained. Nutritious Meals: Following the owner's guidelines, I provide balanced and timely meals, ensuring the dog receives proper nutrition. I also monitor their water intake to keep them hydrated. Safe Environment: I dog-proof the indoor and outdoor areas to prevent accidents or injuries. Hazardous items are kept out of reach, and I supervise the dog closely, especially if they're exploring new surroundings.

About: I have grown up on a farm where I have acquired most of my skills and knowledge of animals. At a very young age I started training and showing dogs in obedience, which soon led into me showing horses in jumping and dressage. I attended Meredith Manor International Equestrian Centre in West Virginia where I achieved many certifications. Now, 32, I still train and show dogs and also still stuck on those horses! Animals have become my backbone and without them, I think I would be lost, like many of us would be! Besides working my job and being a nursing student, I am always doing something with my dogs or horses. Be it training, having fun, or just going about our daily routine. Fitting in the time to care for others pets while they are away is easy for me as I have help on the farm to care for my pets! I will take care of the feeding, watering, cleaning up, play time, walks, etc. I am here to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away. I can care for dogs, cats, birds, farm animals, exotics, etc. I'm that been there type of guy, but my knowledge, skills, and years of experience are here to help keep your pet safe! I am certified in CPR, Horse Health, Training (dog and horse), Teaching, Riding Master Level IV, and Safety.

“We were very happy with the job Victoria and Joe did watching Kai. We knew we were gonna need someone with experience to watch our two year-old 80 pound exuberant, Golden Retriever. When we came back, Kai was happy and well cared for. We also had a last minute change in Kai’s care routine. He needed prescription medicine to be given twice a day from the vet. They were able to take care of this no problem.”

About: After growing up with pet dogs throughout my life, I became the go-to pet sitter for our neighbors/friends/family members when they headed out of town. I currently have my own gentleman giant and volunteer/foster for his rescue! There's almost nothing I haven't seen when it comes to dogs quirky behaviors, but try me! Mi casa es sus casa! I am just starting with the rover platform, so availability is open & I'm willing to discuss anything within reason. In my home pets are taken for frequent walks, and during nice weather we hang out on the patio. In other homes it would depend what you are comfortable with and what the pup is used to!

Kamron was great! My husband and I were away overnight for a friend's wedding and so we had her do check-ins every few hours. She sent pictures and was great with communicating. She was also great during the meet-n-greet with our dog, which is usually when he goes the most berzerk with meeting a new person! I would definitely book her again.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Five Points

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Five Points is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,570 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Five Points. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Five Points. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
